I do agree it's easy to get distracted especially with the internet these days learning about this strategy or that opportunity or the latest hot market etc .Best of luck with your investing!

We have a tenant Lined up but looking at finding a home that meets their needs and our investment criteria.

In the BP episode he mentioned meeting you and how that interaction has grown both his REI Acumen and  REI business simultaneously.  

They are usually at the meetings of CFRI, first Wednesday of every month

@Trevor Carli have you tried reaching out to anyone involved in the Brew City meet up?

I know the Breckenridge area has been "hot" longer than the Mammoth area and maybe you have a lot more buyers looking for luxury as opposed to just beds.

Getting a referral from a fellow investor is OK, however that contractor may be good for the referee, but could be not so good for someone else.Contractors are special individuals - they too are chasing the buck and trying to get the best deal possible.You may want to write specifications  of what you want done - once you know what you want you can better compare bids from workman.I have found that meeting real people with real tools at a time they are buying supplies and materials at Home Depot 5:30 - 6 am picking up stuff to do their daily work is sometimes an effective way to find the craftsman you are looking for at a price that will serve you well.Getting referrals is OK - but how do you know that they didn't over-charge the person who is referring you to them?

Sitting on the brink of a deal in the hot and lucrative Moyamensing section of Philly.

One thing that helped me was attending all the meet ups in my local area on meetup.com.

Wonder if there are any meet-ups for local real estate investors.
